Group 7-day waking average?

Morning, sorry forgot yesterday. An unexplained 7.3 this morning. Was only 5.3 at bedtime and really did not want to eat anything so had two Opal Fruits, one orange and one green, if you’re interested. Didn’t work obs! Never mind, got five beds to strip, wash, dry and iron. That’ll keep me busy today. Hopefully I will get it hung out as, drum roll, the sun is shining! Yeah! Have a happy Monday. 🙂

I’m not surprised your Opal Fruits didn’t work. They were rebranded in 1998 as Starburst.:D

Info point: in the UK, Starburst are vegetarian. In the US and some other markets, they use animal gelatin.

And little known fact: their original advertising tag line - “Made to make your mouth water” was devised by Murray Walker, the old motor racing commentator.

I was just thinking that because they were indeed changed after the stricter laws about not naming products that mislead people into what ingredients they have! I remember Opal Fruits don’t have opals in them & had to change their name! Also, remembered Golden Churn spread had to change their name as it’s not churned & were renamed Golden Crown. I’m not sure if the spread is only local to Norther Ireland, as a lot are, so, you may not recognise the brand! I remember that UK chocolate, the only country that does this, containing vegetable fat had Europe wanting to rebrand it as Vegelate around the same time!
 
Good morning folks🙂

5.4 for me, nice straight line overnight. Yippee:D

Did wake up dripping wet, mind, so I guess I’m turning menopausal:confused: I’m not gong to worry about it, anyway.

I watched a bit of the hopeful Tory leader debate on C4 last night. Some of then were wittering on about how they could negotiate a new deal. Only trouble with that idea is that the EU have said negotiations are over, and the Backstop is non negotiable. They are living in cloud cuckoo land. Nowt new there, then.:D

Another cricket day today. Windies are playing Bangladesh at Taunton, which just for once is not sunny and warm. Definitely cool and cloudy. Nice town, Taunton. They don’t bury their dead, they stand them up in the bus shelters.:D

Right, after that unjustifiable insult, I’ll wish you a good day. Keep up the good work, everyone, and do something kind when you’re out and about.🙂

NOW there’s a thought! @mikeyB turning menopausal! Made me howl with laughter! What are you like? 😱:D🙄😛😉
 
Delighted to report a 6.3 this morning. I was very thirsty last night, through the night and this morning when I woke up so was concerned that things were not going to look good on the screen today but maybe it was just because I didn't drink enough through the day yesterday at the show. Pleased to report we got 2 red rosettes and two blue, one of which was reserve champion!! An unexpected triumph! Well done Zak!
 
Thanks!

Feeling heaps better thanks Alan. Shattered after w/e in Perth. Concert on Saturday was awesome, such a buzz. Only issue I had was leg cramp, with standing for so long, legs are still sore

This w/e could be worse - sound rehearsal on Friday night and concerts Saturday and Sunday nights
 
6.2 this morning, out for lunch today I was so good had a rainbow salad although I got offered half a new potato with butter on, it was delicious, soooo good I think I might start having potato now and then. BG when I got back was 6.5 so not too bad at all.

Bought a pepper, chilli and aubergene plant 🙂 hoping they are gonna make it, we need more warmth.

Hope every one is having a great day.
 
It’s a bit optimistic growing aubergine and peppers outdoors in the UK, They did fine in my greenhouse. Chilli can be grown indoors, on a sunny windowsill. Done that, too, in the kitchen where they belong.
 
I grew aubergines outdoors last year as well as in the poly tunnel but doubt we will have such a fantastic summer that they would so well this year.... certainly not looking like it at the moment! Poly tunnels are pretty cheap and easy to build if you fancied going that route and work amazingly well.
 
05:24 BS 5.4. 🙂 Yay! Back in the fives!:D Had a longer snooze & I FELT the chill in my sleep but, didn’t wake up despite it. Now I’m actually up I put on the heater & need it to warm up a bit as I got quite chilled overnight! Smiley covered in icicles emoji!

VERY wet & windy last night! 😱 Still a bit stormy now! No sign of any birdies’ chirping: they’re taking cover too!🙄😱

A bit later than usual of late, for me, but, still early Good Morning to you all! 😉

I nervously wait to phone my GP later, around 11:45, for results of Lipids tests! Also had to cave in & asked my chemist to deliver my prescription that’s been sitting there for a week as my neuropathy has been bad along with the shoulder discomfort due to the wet weather. I got all my blood pressure meds, this time, but, have to get kidney function tested again before my next meds: marked down in calendar for 6 weeks in plenty of time before my 8 weeks of meds run out! 🙄

I’ll sit basking in the heat before have a nice hot cuppa with brekkie! Stay warm & sunny on the inside folks! 😉
 
I’m warmer now! Just got back from the kitchen to eat in bed a sandwich & a cuppa! Passed the front door & the wind & rain has stopped with some sunshine: the sun’s trying to come out! 🙂 Heater still on but, I warm up internally with hot tea & I can switch it off once I’m warm on the inside!:D

Have a Wonderful Day everyone! 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 Up a bit late again. Sunshine and blue skies here so far, and a 6.9 on waking 🙂 Confirmed my place on the Libre course yesterday, and also delivered my C-peptide test sample to the hospital - wonder what they'll discover? The consultant said they freeze the samples and send them off to Exeter, which immediately made me wonder if he thinks I might be MODY? Or do all C-peptide tests go to Exeter? I was thinking the other day how I have encountered maybe half a dozen others here who stopped needing basal, but then it occurred to me that I have read of a few pumpers who also have a few hours of zero basal during the night, so they are quite similar in that respect.
 
Good morning folks! :0

Nice and sunny here, good job as I'll be heading out in an hour, just hope its the same tomorrow as I've got my first dentist appointment and don't fancy walking up there if the weather is like what we had yesterday, pouring down with a few good rumbles of thunder and a few wee lightning flashes

Anyways 6.4 for me this morning and another stonking headache for me

Hope you all have a nice day! :D
